Took Aspirin. Eye Started Swelling, Runny Nose. Taken Benadryl. Not Cured. What Could Be Causing This?
My eyes swell up when I take aspirin . They start swelling from the inner top lid out and slowly swell up on the bottom until the lid is swollen almost shut. I usually take benadryl for a couple days until it subsides. I woke up yesterday to this happening and this morning it is doubly worse. The thing is, I am positive that I have not ingested anything that contains aspirin. What could be causing this? Also, I have been taking benadryl and it is showing no signs of relief. Even my nose is running nonstop!

Hello,
This can be allergy to aspirin.But since this has failed to relieve after benadryl, I think other cause of such swelling should also be ruled out.
Periorbital edema/swelling can be a common presenting symptom of kidney issue.I guess you need a primary clinical evaluation , so consider seeing your doctor.
Mean while try cetirizine, that might help if its allergy.And if doctor feels it's allergy then more aggressive with steroids can be planned, if needed.
Regards.
